Let your own style shine
through when picking dress
Every bride wants to be
the most beautiful
woman in the world.
Many have dreamed of
wearing a long white
wedding dress, the
symbol of purity,
elegance and refinement,
ever since they were a
little girl.
But, before getting
caught up in the
Cinderella fantasy brides
must keep in mind that
their wedding 'dress
should reflect their own
unique personality and
physical features.
It should also be
appropriate for the type
of wedding planned.
Sometimes the best
way to find the perfect
wedding dress is just to
try on several designs.
Eventually, a particular
style will prove to be the
most flattering.
For example, if you are
tall and thin, or short and
petite, consider yourself
lucky because you can
wear almost anything.
If you are tall and
rounder, avoid wearing
tight dresses or many
layers of fabric. Instead,
choose a dress that will
slim your figure, such as
a straight skirt.
It will minimize your
hips and lengthen your
legs. If you are short and
rounder, a simple style
will be the most
flattering.
When it comes to the
styles of wedding
dresses, the choices are
virtually endless.
A few examples
include the princess
dress, which has a close -
fitting, undefined
waistline and a slightly

style of fashion.
flared skirt; the body -
hugging sheath dress; and
the crinoline dress, which
create a majestic effect
when combined with a
simple, form -fitting top.
Other dresses can
emphasize the waist and
chest; these generally
have a straight or flared
skirt. Alternatively, brides
can have a custom-made
dress made by a
specialized seamstress.
Regardless of the type
of dress you choose to
wear, not only is it
important that you look
beautiful, but you must
also feel beautiful.
Being comfortable and
feeling like a princess
will keep a beautiful
smile on your face
throughout your entire
wedding.

Touches of colour finding
way into wedding dresses
Like everything else
related to fashion, new
collections of bridal gowns
are designed each year,
giving brides-to-be a wide
selection of fresh and
updated styles to choose
from.
Again this year, the white
wedding gown is still on
the top of the list. However,
there is a growing trend in
off-white dresses decorated
with beautiful, delicate
touches of colour, such as
burgundy and blue flowers.
Among the most popular
styles remains the tried-
and-true A-line dress.
Most of today's wedding
dresses seem to lean
towards one extreme or the
other: either very elaborate
or very simple and
understated.
It also appears that the
cathedral -length veil is out
and that shorter chapel veils
are definitely in.
Other trends include
traditional fabrics such as
organza, tulle, silk and
crepe, plunging necklines,
bared shoulders and full
skirts.
Accessories are moving
towards pearls, lace and
embroidery.
Haute couture is also
influencing bridal gowns
with its audacity and
beauty. Examples of this
influence include light,
silky fabrics, draped
fabrics, ruchings, ribbons
and other marvelous
touches that can turn a
regular woman into a
stunning princess.
